site was down on Saturday; blame global warming

Seriously. Geek Philosophy (and FlickFilosopher.com), as well as my email, were down for much of the day on Saturday because the extraordinary heat wave in California, where my Web host is located, caused power outages, which sent my host to backup generators, which obviously could not provide enough power to keep all its servers up and running.

Here I am in New York, where we finally got a break from the heat (but not the humidity -- ugh) over the last few days (though some folks here in NYC are still without power for a week after weather-related outages), and the weather in California is tripping me up.

It's a circle-of-life, fundamental-interconnectedness-of-all-things thing.

who I am


I'm MaryAnn Johanson: geek goddess, film critic, and Generation Xer. I'm a writer and ponderer in New York City who drinks too much wine and thinks way too much about such inconsequences as movies, TV, books, and the meaning of life.

An excess of reason is itself a form of madness. (Kim Stanley Robinson in Forty Signs of Rain)

caveat

Not all geeks are Generation Xers. Not all Generation Xers are geeks. Not all those who self-identify as either geeks or Xers will recognize themselves in everything I discuss here. Please do not unduly concern yourself with such details. There is value to be found in thoughtfully considered generalizations. This is what I seek.
